BJ's Brewhouse

On April 1, guests dining in, carrying out, or ordering delivery at BJ's Brewhouse could enjoy a free Pizookie of any flavor — including their Pizickle Pizookie — with a minimum purchase of $14.95. The Pizickle Pizookie came topped with dill pickle slices, and no, it was not a joke.

Burger King

BK sent out their $3 Whopper Wednesday. . . on a Monday. Guests could take advantage of their silly joke by getting a $3 Whopper or Impossible Whopper — usually reserved for mid-week — on Monday, April 1 only.

Dunkin'

Dunkin' announced an April Fools' Day name change — now just known as Donuts' — and while the name change is a joke, the deal they're offering wasn't. Donut lovers got 3x points on all donut orders for one day only. The offer was in the Dunkin' rewards app.
